It’s not a gargoyle so massive that it could handle a tsunami

It’s not a quirky boutique hotel
It’s not a Liberty Style façade
It’s not a Haunted House

What is it?

The Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History*
(part of the Human Sciences Section of the Max Planck Society)

Now that’s a mouthful.

*Designed by Federico Zuccari in the late 16^th century.

I love stories and I always felt a need to write my own. After careers in academia and diplomacy, I finally sat down and wrote an award-winning family memoir. I also began to publicly address a neglected piece of US history, the early U.S. Civil Rights movement that served as the impetus for the more widely known one of the 1950s. Having travelled extensively (over 44 countries and counting) and having lived in Europe and South America, I also wanted to share my experiences as an expat. I currently reside in Italy and have many a tale to tell!
